ItCO J'ery Big Trees.

One third of the land surface NJ ouT
planet is covered with trees. The larges
tree in the word is situated in Mascot
near the foot Of Mt 4Etna, and is called
the Chestnut Tree of a Hundred
Horses. :" and moreover is believed to be
one of the Oldest trees in the world.
Its Rame arose from the report that
Queen Jane of AragOn, with her prln-
cipal nobility took refuge from VIOLENT
storm under its branches. At on time
it was supposed that it consisted Of a
clump of trees united, but on digging
away the earth the root WaJ found

branches arise from one greet trunk,
which is 2l2 feet in circumference. A
part of the trunk has been broken away
and its Interior is hollow, and is large
cn.ugh to contain a flock of sheep, or
two carriages driven abreast through it.
1t still be rs an abundance OF fruit, and
its collectors have built hut within the
trunk, the better to promote their pro-
ceediugs. The largest tree IN the United
States stands near Bear Creek on the
north side Of Thorn river, California. 1t
measures 40 feet in circumference. In
Tuolome grove, Nevada, stands the
Dead Giant Redwood tree, measuring
1870 feet in circumference, whish has
been so entirely followed by long use
as a chimney that the road mixers could
not resist the temptation Of completing
the work Of the camp fires, SO that they
have cut great arch way right through
the father side of the poor dead stump
and let Tho road through it, so that now
the high crowded coach daily passes
through the very heart of the great tree,
which may have been young in the days

and duty of the general government
ought to be extended to the relief of in

properly related to the public service or

regard the limited mission of this power
and d Ity should, | think, be steadfastly
resisted to the end that the lesson should
be constantly enforced that though the
people support the government, the gov
eminent should not support the people"
lie suggests that if the Senators and
